Hi, A Friend brought me this Glass figurine yesterday, knowing that I do collect Glass. Not something I would of considered purchasing, however, I have to take into consideration the thought. This figurine has striking features to a previous post which I am currently trying to look up. Having carried out some research I am drawn towards this as being either a Fratelli or Barovier Toso piece. I could be totally off track, as it is a bit early in my research. The base stand is very similar to the Murano pieces I've seen. It could do with a good clean though. A bit hesitant in doing that just yet, as I am a bit clumsy when cleaning and have broken a few expensive and none expensive pieces of glass in the past. The figurine stands approx. 30.8cm in height. The concave base dia. 9.6cm. I have been informed that this figurine would have come with a partner. Any help in identifying this, is appreciated! I've managed to find a site, however there is limited amount of information. The figurine in this site bares similarities but looks more modern, then again, I could be wrong about that too.
